How to Use the Word Dictionary
Looking up a word takes three steps:
- Type a word into the search box. Enter any word you want defined — whether you found it while playing a word game or you’re just curious about it.
- Hit “Look Up” (or press Enter). Definitions appear instantly, organized by part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) with example sentences showing the word used in context.
- Explore related words. Click any synonym chip beneath a definition to jump straight to that word’s own definition — a fast way to build vocabulary or find the exact word you’re looking for.
If you clicked through from the word unscrambler, the definition for that word will already be waiting for you — no need to search again.
